ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method including controls for automatically controlling the operating speed of a candy forming machine to make candy pieces of the same size having uniform outer diameters. The candy forming machine itself includes a batch roller for rolling a batch of candy mass, a rope sizer for shaping and sizing the rolled candy mass into a candy rope, and a candy former for cutting and forming the candy rope into candy pieces. By monitoring the size of the candy mass in the batch roller, the machine automatically synchronizes both the speed of the rope sizer and the speed of the candy former to the rate at which candy is introduced into the batch roller. More specifically, the candy forming machine includes a mechanism for sensing a particular candy mass diameter in the batch roller and generating a corresponding signal to a speed control device. The speed control device is responsive to the respective signal generated by the sensing mechanism by either increasing, maintaining, or decreasing the speed of the candy former accordingly.
